MAISD Transition Campus PBIS and Safety Susan L. Mack Pamela Davison

About MAISD Transition Campus Transition Campus for 65-80 students ages 18 to 26 with moderate cognitive impairments

Vision Statement Support all transition students to be as independent as possible in community, vocation and home life settings by building skills in: self advocacy, communication, relationships and safety awareness.

About MAISD Transition Originally five satellite classrooms around the county Used the MATS (bus) system to travel from classroom to classroom Three to four staff and approximately 12-15 students per satellite classroom Classrooms leveled based on independence

All together All five classrooms moved to one location in 2013-14 school year with some resistance. Five different ways of teaching students Five different ways of dealing with student behaviors Five different levels of student independence

Independence All students go to job sites Typically, 1 job coach with 2 students Job sites are divided into 3 levels; Work Exploration Work Based Learning Independent Vocational Training Classes are now departmentalized Our main goal is to develop independence in Job Skills, Daily Living, Self Determination, Community Participation

Some staff were resistant to doing PBIS Some staff were resistant to doing PBIS! NO NEED for PBIS because our students are too old and we are getting them ready to be independent!!

Introduction to PBIS The study of human behavior The principles of PBIS work for everyone! In the work place: Industrial Psychology or Organizational Psychology Start slowly and develop the program as we go along
